Clinton Adviser Goodstein
On his premiere night at 8 p.m. ET, Tucker Carlson opened his program with a stirring debate with former Clinton campaign adviser Richard Goodstein.
Carlson pointed to a recent poll showing President Trump would win reelection by 43 to 40 percent over Hillary Clinton if the election were held today.
"This poll is a disaster," he said, asking Clinton Adviser Goodstein whether Democrats should adopt a different approach to draw voters in than just attacking the president.
Goodstein said recent special elections in Kansas and Georgia show voters are indeed being drawn to the Democrats' anti-Trump message.
Carlson pointed out neither of those states' candidates won their race.
But Goodstein pointed to Georgia where Democrats formerly down 30 ...

Health Care Bill - Meghan McCain
Meghan McCain says there's plenty of blame to go around for the collapse of the Republican-backed health care bill, from President Trump to House Speaker Paul Ryan to House Republicans to the House Freedom Caucus.
On "Outnumbered" today, McCain explained the American Health Care Act was a bad bill from the start, and lawmakers exacerbated its problems by rushing it and failing to to form a consensus.
She said it's "deeply embarrassing" for Republicans that they have been unable to follow through on one of Trump's signature campaign promises, despite holding the House, Senate and White House.
McCain said one of the biggest problems in this whole debacle has been the lack of compromise and negotiation, which she said was embodied by the...

NSA
A former National Security Agency employee claimed in a shocking interview Friday night the NSA likely did spy on President Donald Trump’s phone calls and emails, as well as those belonging to justices on the Supreme Court, members of Congress, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. NSA
In an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” hosted by longtime journalist Tucker Carlson, former NSA employee Bill Binney revealed he believes the NSA likely did spy on Trump and may even be spying on him now.
“As I just said in my intro, you spent 30 years there,” Carlson said to Binney. “You’re not someone whose just speculating. You believe it’s entirely possible that the president was, in fact, spied on?”
“Yes,” Binney replied. “In fact, they’re taking in fundamentally t

Debates Illegal Immigration
Tucker Carlson called the recent rape of a 14-year-old Maryland student by two illegal immigrants "the sign of a sick civilization at war with itself," and asked a Baltimore councilman about his vocal opposition to ICE deportation process..
Councilman Zeke Cohen (D-Dundalk) last week sponsored a resolution demanding federal authorities stop enforcing immigration laws in Baltimore, Carlson said.
Cohen said there is no place in America for the sexual violence seen 40 miles away in Rockville recently, but added that recent ICE arrests in Baltimore trouble him about the treatment of immigrants.
Carlson said there is no way to know whether an illegal immigrant will be a productive member of the community or commit another crime unless laws are properl...

Tucker Carlson
President Donald Trump’s proposed budget calls for eliminating federal programs for the arts and humanities, including the National Endowment for the Arts.
Tucker Carlson says he is fine with these cuts because organizations like the NEA are essentially "welfare for rich, liberal elites."
Robin Bronk, CEO of the Creative Coalition, joined Tucker tonight to debate the importance of federal funding for the arts.
Tucker asked her why taxpayers should be "subsidizing entertainment for rich people" in a time of budget deficits.
Bronk argued that the NEA - which takes up a tiny fraction of the federal budget - has given grants to every congressional district in the U.S., not just the rich ones.
She added that money put into the arts actually results in a st

NBC News - real meddler
Tucker Carlson tore into NBC News and MSNBC on his show Tuesday night, suggesting that it wasn’t Russia that meddled in last year’s presidential election, but rather the famed news outlets.
Russia “hacking” last year’s election has been one of the biggest, nonstop stories since President Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in November. However, there isn’t much evidence to support that narrative, Carlson said.
“There’s no reason to believe Russia changed the course of American political history,” Carlson declared. “There’s merely innuendo and conspiracy mongering and connecting probably irrelevant dots.”
That led Carlson to one question: If there is no real evidence that Russia manipulated last year’s election or colluded with Trump’s cam

#Trumpcare
Tucker Carlson, one of the right-wing commentators most dreaded by liberals, undressed House Speaker Paul Ryan in a Wednesday interview about the GOP’s health care plan to replace Obamacare. The bill, which was unveiled this week, has been condemned by people both on the left and the right.
Carlson, along with everyone else in Washington, does not understand how this happened.
“It’s been seven years to the month since Obamacare passed, and I guess the obvious question is why in all that time couldn’t Republicans formulate a plan most of them could agree on before going public with it. Carlson observed. “It looks like chaos,”
Ryan disagreed with the Fox News host’s assertion, arguing that the process was going as planned and that he was confident that conserv

Criminalizing the immigrant population ...
“I’m for tolerance 100 percent, but I also think that if things radically change in your country, its ok for you to say what is this. And maybe I don’t want to live in a country that looks nothing like the country I grew up in. Is that bigoted? It seems to me Mexico should be allowed to say that.”
Jorge Ramos debated illegal immigration with Tucker Carlson, saying that Americans must be "tolerant" of immigrants. criminalizing
Carlson pointed to Ramos' recent statement that America is "our country not theirs," and asked what he meant by that.
Ramos said America is "yours, mine and ours" and that he was referring to immigration critics who "think it is a white country," saying that such people want to "go back to 1965... with a white maj

Fox News host Tucker Carlson got into an ardent debate with New York Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney Friday night over the left’s strung out accusations that Attorney General Jeff Sessions may have perjured himself during his Senate confirmation process over questions about meeting with Russian officials. The media pitchforks have been out for a while on this subject and Maloney decided to get his two punches in with the following statement:
“Jeff Sessions’ opposition to equal rights already made him unfit to serve, but he lied under oath – he has got to go. We also need to look at the bigger picture here and figure out why he perjured himself and if there is more to this story. We need a no-kidding independent investigation into Russian hacking and influence. What are they hid

Following his announcement that he was recusing himself from any investigations into presidential campaigns, coming on the heels of reports he met with the Russian ambassador while he was advising Donald Trump’s campaign, Attorney General Jeff Sessions appeared on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight.
At the start of the conversation, host Tucker Carlson brought up former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s resignation over conversations with the ambassador and wondered why Sessions didn’t come forward before now to highlight his own meetings with the envoy.
With Sessions explaining that he believed Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) was asking about campaign activity and Sessions’ role as a surrogate, Carlson responded that he took the AG at his word, but still wanted to know why someone

Tucker Carlson continues to keep liberals on their toes. This week he invited Democratic National Committee senior adviser Zac Petkanas on to discuss the science of gender and gender identity after Petkanas called the Trump administration “monsters” in light of the decision to allow states to decide on transgender bathroom laws for schools individually.
What was meant to be intellectual banter turned into Zac stammering over simple questions and Tucker completely eviscerating him live on air.
The interview begins with Tucker reading Petkanas’ tweet which stated, “I woke up feeling so sick to my stomach about the trump white houses attacks on vulnerable LGBT kids. These people are monsters.” Tucker brings up the point that the Obama administration waited seven years to develop the

Tucker Carlson debated public school teacher and national organizer for the activist group BAMN, Yvette Felarca. 'BAMN' was among the largest supporters of the protests of Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos' speech on Berkeley's campus.
"A fascist is someone who's organizing a mass movement that's attacking women, immigrants, black people, other minority groups in a movement of genocide. That's what a fascist is" Felarca answered when asked to define the term.
"So it's someone who is committing violence?" Carlson inquired
"It is someone who is committing violence and someone who is trying to organize other people to commit violence," the professional activist said. "And Milo Yiannopoulos is a fascist."
"So he's committed acts of violence against the protected groups you...
